Top of the Yankees order next inning you absolutely yank Gausman

What a game for Goose.

Some great plate appearances tonight. Could have even more runs for sure. Gausman has been phenomenal his command is unreal tonight

Loperfido over Barger is gross

Yeah it's not that Rogers won't spend that It's just that they probably don't have enough confidence he will be an elite reliever so they aren't spending that

Manoah in Dunedin I can't see how he fits on the MLB roster unless a SP gets injured and they don't acquire any SP at the deadline. That slider velo isn't good and the fastball velo isn't good enough

$6M for like 15 appearances plus the playoffs is pretty steep I guess

Just don't understand why he lasted until 11 with that bonus

Seems weird?

Grayson Rodriguez Dealing With Renewed Elbow Soreness

Tougher matchup today for sure Need some big hits and Lauer to Lauer

That might be the best OF throw of all time Certainly top 5

Where is everyone? At the game!?

Nice inning!

Okay double play Jays

Ugh

Frig. Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi Lengthy list of injury updates from John Schneider includes some bad news for the Blue Jays pitching depth: Yimi Garcia, on the IL with a left ankle sprain, is now experiencing "ulnar nerve symptoms" in his right elbow; due for exam to determine next steps Bowden Francis felt "bit cranky shoulder-wise" and will be shut down for at least 10 days to "see if we can calm the shoulder down." Ryan Burr will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery for a capsular injury. Daulton Varsho playing 3-5 innings in the outfield for single-A Dunedin tonight, aim is to get him to triple-A Buffalo next week, number of rehab games TBD Andres Gimenez is with team in Toronto, doing defence work on his knees to protect ankle, some hitting Anthony Santander arriving in Toronto on Saturday "to see our doctors here and kind of hopefully get a plan in place with him moving forward." Unclear what next steps are. Nick Sandling playing catch, feeling better Alek Manoah starts Sunday at Dunedin

When is the signing deadline? It's pretty quick now, right?

Verlander's overall package is decent stuff with poor command. But his fastball is no longer plus. Jays need to work the count and get fastballs over the plate. Don't swing at his offspeed stuff (which is still rating well) or let him get you jumping at fastballs over the zone early.

Justin: 0-7 with a 4.70 ERA Maximus: 1-0 (undefeated in the AL East) with a 4.70 ERA

Verlander is 0-7? lmao

xwOBA is still too hot league wide, by about .012 but even when you correct xwOBA down for that misbalance most of the Jays core players are getting unlucky PLAYER wOBA xwOBA Adjusted xwOBA wOBA - axwOBA Alejandro Kirk 0.336 0.371 0.359 -0.023 Ernie Clement 0.313 0.293 0.281 0.032 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 0.357 0.402 0.39 -0.033 Bo Bichette 0.331 0.377 0.365 -0.034 Addison Barger 0.349 0.37 0.358 -0.009 George Springer 0.368 0.393 0.381 -0.013 Tyler Heineman 0.366 0.28 0.268 0.098 Nathan Lukes 0.34 0.335 0.323 0.017 Andrés Giménez 0.282 0.324 0.312 -0.03 Myles Straw 0.27 0.296 0.284 -0.014 Daulton Varsho 0.319 0.321 0.309 0.01 Davis Schneider 0.345 0.302 0.29 0.055 Joey Loperfido 0.419 0.308 0.296 0.123 Alan Roden 0.263 0.232 0.22 0.043
